Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013150049A1] In a method for fastening a rivet element (1) to at least one workpiece (W) a rivet element (1) is used that has has a hollow shank (2), a punch head (5) at one end of the shank (2), a flange (8) at a distance from the punch head (5), and a deformation region (9) between the flange (8) and the punch head (5). By means of a cylindrical mandrel (15) of a fastening device (20), the punch head (5) of the rivet element (1) is pressed through the workpiece supported on a first dolly (12), thereby forming a rivet hole. Subsequently, by means of a riveting die (17) directed toward the punch head (5), the deformation region (9) of the shank (2) is formed into a closure flange (18) contacting the workpiece (W), wherein the flange of the rivet element (1) is supported on a second dolly (14).
